Raynaud's phenomenon in workers exposed to vibration.
Both the finger systolic blood pressure (FSP) and the rewarming test of finger skin are measures of circulation in the finger; the first reflects the vasoconstriction phase and the second the vasodilatation phase. The combinations of the specificity and the sensitivity of these methods were evaluated by a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The material included 37 vibration-induced ...
متن کاملEpidemiological survey of shipyard workers exposed to hand-arm vibration.
All 169 caulkers employed at a ship yard were examined to determine the prevalence of vibration syndrome due to pneumatic portable tools (chipping hammer and grinders). Vibration measurements and medical investigations were performed in the field between September 1977 and July 1978. Vibration spectra recorded on pneumatic tools were compared to ISO Draft Proposal No. 5369. The chipping hammer ...
متن کاملForestry workers exposed to vibration: a neurological study.
Neurological findings were examined in 186 forestry workers with a mean exposure to chain saw vibration of 16.6 hours. The prevalence of active vibration induced white fingers was 5%, parethaesias of the hands 53%, and muscle weakness 13%. Clinical polyneuropathy was observed in 16 forestry workers in the hands (7.5%) which did not correlate with alcohol consumption. Seventy nine forestry worke...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of hydroxyproline in workers occupationally exposed to vibration.
Urinary hydroxyproline excretion was measured in 130 chain saw operators aged 28-59 and in 31 normal control subjects aged 26-59 with no occupational exposure to vibration. The results measured were expressed as a ratio of hydroxyproline to creatinine. (1) No significant correlation between hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio and age was observed among normal subjects. (2) In chain saw operators gr...
متن کاملSerum endothelin concentrations in workers exposed to vibration.
OBJECTIVES Endothelin 1 (ET1) is one of a newly discovered family of potent naturally occurring vasoconstrictors produced by the endothelium. A few publications indicated that the peptide may have a role in idiopathic Raynaud's phenomenon and Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to connective tissue disease. The aim of this study was to compare serum endothelin concentrations in people with vibration...
